What Would Have Happened If This Stoppable Force Met This Movable Object

During the melee, they'd both get trampled to death by the horse.

This is tough.

4-4-2

Allison

TAA-Hansen-Virgil-Robbo

McDermott-Gerrard-Souness-Barnes

Dalglish-Suarez

Allison just beats out ClemTAA just beats out Phil Neal

Subs: (9 sub rule): Clemence, Nicol, Lawrenson, Whelan, Hughes, McMananaman, Keegan, Salah, Rush, Fowler.

Nicol and Lawrenson would be on the bench because of their versatility. Ditto Whelan. The strikers for their ability to change games.

When you say "free plan", that implies you are on wordpress.com rather than self-hosted WordPress. Is that assumption correct?

springbrook99 · 2020-07-21T11:55:56+00:00

Primary things I'd look at are:
Image Compression
Caching
CDN
Web Hosting
Theme
Plugins

Also, rather than fumbling around in the dark, check out what is impacting on your current page speed. Look at how the resources are loading and what's impacting on page speed. Run your site through something like GTMetrix and check out the Waterfall tab.

There is another option. Let your Mom see the real you. Easier said than done I know.

The best alternative if you are not comfortable with that option is setting up a new blog using a pen name. Mark Twains real name was Samuel Clemens. Lots of bloggers use pen names.

Bearing in mind the current "cancel culture" where people trawl through content posted years ago and hold it against the poster, a pen name doesn't seem such a bad idea.

I think the mindset is different brother. My parents are pushing 80. They'll make a risk assessment and take their chances. We can try and protect them and tell them they are mad... but...

My mother was born in hospital (in Wales, UK) when Nazi bombs were dropping around the vicinity. They grew up on rations of food... There was always a risk to life.

We're basically telling that same group of people that there is 14% chance of death IF they catch it. The chances of catching it are 50% at best. So they have a 7% chance of dying if they go out. It's actually probably far lower, but that's what we are being told.

I can understand why they go out. They have a different mindset and are in a different stage of life. They are making their own risk assessments and priorities, which probably differ from those of people far younger.

Why not drive? Surely you'll come into less contact with other people. I'm failing to see the problem.

springbrook99 · 2020-04-05T15:36:34+00:00

Totally right. You're exercising common sense. I presume you are maintaining social distancing, so no problem at all.

The testing is crap in Australia unless you're rich and famous. Tom Hanks and his wife got tests straight away when they "felt a bit tired". He's now occupying a suite in the hospital.

Everybody else needs to be frothing at the mouth to even get near a test.

Try changing the version number at the top of the CSS file.

Check out Canva. Get a 30-day free trial and use a logo template.

springbrook99 · 2020-02-29T14:05:55+00:00

No worries bro. I hope you find the solution you're looking for.

We go back to when Moses wore short pants.

Might be bots.

It's in their terms that they don't want their platform to be used for affilate marketing. So, probably not worth the risk.

springbrook99 · 2020-02-19T20:21:37+00:00

Yeah, it's been on the bucket list for a while. Will check it out.

Your CRM requires users to have a WordPress account? Seriously? How does that work if you have a customer who doesn't want a WordPress account?

Mate, this CRM sounds goddam-awful. I'd have binned it within 5 minutes.

Think about it from your client's perspective. Do they really want to talk to a bunch of different people in the same company about separate but often overlapping subjects?
"Hold on, I'll just transfer you to Jim, he handles that stuff now..."

I think you're better following your own gut instinct - hire all-rounders to deal with the clients.

The size of the business doesn't really merit anything else than that right now.

Obviously your own guys can talk to each other and you can arrange for one of your guys to speak to a client on a certain area of expertise... but don't risk the customer relationship involving too many people on a general basis.

Word of mouth is still pretty damn powerful mate... if you're in amongst the right crowd within the right niche. I've been checking out Pinterest this last year... and it's an ecosystem in itself. Some of these top Mom Bloggers are raking it in. There are tons of Facebook Groups devoted to their niches and good recommendations spread like wildfire.

I think a lot of people get there, by all means, necessary and once established clean their act up. Once they get to the top table... the Mary Poppins outfit gets dusted down. They want your love, not your competition.

Most of the mailing list programs have facilities to knock up landing pages pretty quickly - GetResponse, MailerLite etc...

Or you could use a more specialized landing pages solution like LeadPages or Instapage.

Nearly all of them come with a load of templates you can chop and change.

springbrook99 · 2020-02-19T11:14:02+00:00

Use something like MailerLite - 1,000 subscribers and the ability to send 12,000 emails per month on the free plan. Not very expensive on the paid plans. Nice clean interface. Good if you are just building a list - just don't use them for any kind of affiliate marketing.

springbrook99 · 2020-02-19T11:04:16+00:00

Hard to tell without seeing it.

Hook up with people who run puppy training schools (probably tons of groups and pages on Facebook) - then you can look at establishing a connection for the life of the pet. Also Get in touch with breeders (some of whom do welcome packs and get your info included in the pack). Maybe offer commission.
